		Just running the hot tap to do some washing up and it then turned into a case of turning the entire kitchen upside down to catch this little bugger!! Seeing a Mouse run across your kitchen side into hiding is something i did not expect to see!!  
Cheeky bugger ate through my decent bread    ![[Image: IMG_1139_zps77847616.jpg]](http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll136/richcrawshaw/IMG_1139_zps77847616.jpg)  
Resultant mess trying to catch him!

Followed by holding him by his tail cos he kept biting me!

I thought i'd be nice (even though he ate through my nice bread    ) to let him go outside far away...

		Might be worth reporting to the council, where you've got one rat there's usually plenty more...

		It was a mouse, not a rat thankfully    
Cute little bugger if i must say so, was considering keeping him as a pet and naming him Jaws! 
 
he didn't puncture the skin, so after bleaching the sides and cleaning my hands all is well.

		Small rat IMO. Looks quite wide at the back end so more rat like than mouse.
 Id of killed him cos hell be back now he knows where the food is.
 
 This is one of the reasons dogs are great, anything small and fury in the house doesn't stand a chance, he even chases the bigger spiders.
 
 Defo get some traps down just in case. Best way for an easy kill once youve trapped them is a dustbin full of water and drop the fucker in, the weight of the trap will make sure it sinks

		I had one in a flat I stayed in in Edinburgh. Little bastard only ever came out at night and didn't fall for any traps. So i stuck a cork in the hole in the skirting board and the little bastard went quiet a couple of days later

		That's one seriously huge mouse! Surprised it was bold enough to be out and about in the light as well, the phrase "timid as a mouse" isn't just a quirk of language... And wtaf did it do to that bread, that's savage!

		I was on toilet having a dump once when one popped out the wall. Was very cute and brown. So naturally I called him jerry. Because I was half way through having a shit I left him there playing till I'd finished.
